Synopsis:

The title suggests that the novel is set during the period of the Second French Empire, which lasted from 1852 to 1870 under the rule of Emperor Napoleon III. The term "morgue" in the title may refer to a place where unidentified bodies were kept for identification purposes in Paris during that era, adding a mysterious and possibly macabre element to the story. John Augustus O'Shea's writing is likely to reflect the political and social tensions of the time, exploring themes of intrigue, romance, and possibly crime against the backdrop of historical events. The Second Empire was a period marked by rapid industrialization, urban development, and political maneuvering, providing rich material for a novel that blends historical fiction with elements of mystery and suspense.
